Prince Harry’s complicated relationship with the royal family has reportedly taken a turn. Insiders claim that Meghan Markle has asked her husband to maintain distance from Kate Middleton. Once considered Harry’s ally, Middleton was reportedly his source of comfort during years of tension with his brother and father. But now, according to a source, Markle has made it clear that their connection has no place in their future.
Meghan Markle has her reasons for asking Prince Harry to cut ties with Kate Middleton, says source
According to Radar Online, Meghan Markle is not comfortable with Prince Harry’s close bond with Kate Middleton. A source close to the couple told the tabloid, “Meghan hasn’t sugar-coated her demand”. They added, “She wants Kate gone from the equation entirely.” They continued, “She views Harry’s nostalgia for that bond as a danger, and she’s insisted he cut ties for good.”
While Harry’s relationship with Prince William remains fractured, friends claim he believed Middleton could be a bridge back to the family. However, an insider claimed, “Harry hasn’t received a single message from Kate since that visit,” adding, “It’s really weighing on him because she was the one family member who always kept some channel of contact alive.”
At the same time, a Hollywood contact explained Markle’s feelings: “Meghan envies the closeness Harry once shared with Kate. She can’t stand watching him long for someone tied to the royal life she fought to escape.” Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex admitted in the past that losing his sister-in-law’s support has been one of the most painful aspects of the family rift. A longtime friend observed, “It feels like the last straw. It’s crushing for him.”
Whether Prince Harry ultimately follows Meghan Markle’s wishes or finds a way to reconnect with Kate Middleton remains to be seen. However, per the insider, the further Harry drifts from his former friends, the harder it would become for him to keep any ties to the royal family.
